It’s been a while since my last post. Sometimes life gets very busy and hectic. Hubster and I haven’t been home together in a week, and the week before that were extremely busy. Over the next few days I’ll share what’s been going on the past few weeks.

Last weekend was the Laurel Festival Parade and Hubster’s Aunt always had a cookout, since her house is along the parade route. I brought another fruit pizza, per Pumpkin’s (and my nephews’) request. Topped with blackberries, blueberries and red raspberries (unfortunately store-bought and not handpicked). As always, everyone loves this dessert. I doubled up the crust again. Hubster wants me to make this again for the Fourth of July, although I prefer to make new things and not make the same thing time after time.

Almost everyone loves chocolate chip cookies and just as many love the raw cookies dough. Here is a great truffle recipe I adjusted to create delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

Ingredients: 1/2 c. butter. 3/4 c. light brown sugar. 1 Tbs. vanilla, 2 c. flour, 1 1/2 c. chocolate chips, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 c. chopped pecans or walnuts.

Directions: Mix together butter and sugar until creamy. Slowly add milk, vanilla and flour. Mix in chocolate chips into batter. Roll batter into balls and place on wax paper lined baking tray, refrigerate to harden. Coat balls in the chopped nuts and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

*You can also coat these in chocolate or  cocoa powder.

*I use this recipe when I make Cookie Dough Ice-Cream.

Did you ever sit down and eat a bowl (or stick) of raw chop chip cookie dough?
